10 Happiest States (Note for Real Estate Investing)

MSN just posted this story on the 10 Happiest States in the US, with the strongest predictors being affluence, education, and healthiness.
And what do we know about real estate values? They increase as areas become more popular.
Here's the article (http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/33830268...th/?GT1=43001), and here's the list:

Utah: 69.2
Hawaii: 68.2
Wyoming: 68 (think this has anything to do with the lack of sales tax?)
Colorado: 67.3
Minnesota: 67.3
Maryland: 67.1
Washington: 67.1
Massachusetts: 67
California: 67
Arizona: 66.8

Just some food for thought, enjoy!
Cheers,
